Well, Casey and I are going to pick the car up this afternoon. A little pricey, but avery quick repair thankfully. Afterwards, we are going to pick up a Christmas gift. It's the last of our Christmas shopping. For once, we are ahead of schedule. We're usually the ones that are out shopping like mad on Christmas Eve. Last year there were so many people out shopping, that we got stuck trying to get out of the Target parking lot for over 45 minutes!! Why can't they just make straight entrances anymore? Why all of that spaghetti crap anyway? Getting to stay out of the madness will truly be a welcome change this year.
Nothing big is on the agenda tonight. We were going to go to the drive-in and see Madagascar 2 and Beverly Hills Chihuahua, but it's just way too cold outside and too expensive to keep the car running for four hours straight. So we've rented Wall-E, and we are going to stay nice and cozy in the house. I'm going to swim straight after work, so I'll definitely be ready for a hot shower, hot meal, and my cozy p.j's. Tomorrow, we're going to see Twilight, and I can't wait....
Have a nice evening everyone!

Two steps forward. One step back. That certainly feels like the story of my life today. This morning, my car wouldn't start. We got it jumped off fairly quickly. We figured the culprit was the alternator. We took it in for a look. Turns out the connection was just loose...BUT they found that my axels were cracked and needed replacing ASAP. Now, Casey and I know this mechanic as a friend, so when he says it has to be done, it HAS to be DONE. So now, I'm just waiting to see if everything gets done today. Otherwise we can pick it up tomorrow, along with a hefty little bill. I guess that's just life, but it sure is frustrating.

For the last month or so, or really since the new Star Wars: The Clone Wars series debuted, I've been getting LOTS of hits from folks looking for Clone Trooper pictures. Welcome to you all! Since I'm a member of the 501st, MidSouth Garrison, I get LOTS of pictures of Clone Troopers and Clone Trooper armor, so keep checking back. For now...

Yes. I'm a long time fan of the Twilight series. I was lucky enough a few years ago, to meet Stephenie Meyer, before all of the hysteria. I'm also woman enough to admit that yes, I DO have my Twilight ticket already! I'm also looking forward to seeing if the movie lives up to the book and all of the hype. Anyway, here's my Twilight encounter.....

Yes, I am still around. I'm still recovering from the Bell's Palsy. It has been a slow, sometimes painful battle. I had meant to post more frequently than this, but I really just haven't felt like it. I am feeling better this week, so I'm trying to get back to my regular schedule. Hang in there with me...
